Effective Altitude (Sea Level); Shock And Vibration - Seagate SAVVIO 10K.5 FC ST9300605FC Product Manual

7.5.3

Effective altitude (sea level)

a. Operating
–1,000 to +10,000 feet (–304.8 to +3,048 meters)
b. Non-operating
–1,000 to +40,000 feet (–304.8 to +12,192 meters)
7.5.4

Shock and vibration

Shock and vibration limits specified in this document are measured directly on the drive chassis. If the drive is
installed in an enclosure to which the stated shock and/or vibration criteria is applied, resonances may occur
internally to the enclosure resulting in drive movement in excess of the stated limits. If this situation is apparent,
it may be necessary to modify the enclosure to minimize drive movement.
The limits of shock and vibration defined within this document are specified with the drive mounted by any of
the four methods shown in Figure 9, and in accordance with the restrictions of Section 9.4.
7.5.4.1 Shock
a. Operating—normal
The drive, as installed for normal operation, shall operate error free while subjected to intermittent shock not
exceeding:
• 15 Gs at a duration of 11ms (half sinewave)
• 25 Gs at a duration of 2ms (half sinewave)
• 65 Gs at a duration of 2ms (half sinewave) when performing reads only
Shock may be applied in the X, Y, or Z axis. Shock is not to be repeated more than once every 2 seconds.
b. Non-operating
The limits of non-operating shock shall apply to all conditions of handling and transportation. This includes
both isolated drives and integrated drives.
The drive subjected to nonrepetitive shock not exceeding the three values below, shall not exhibit device
damage or performance degradation.
• 80 Gs at a duration of 11ms (half sinewave)
• 400 Gs at a duration of 2ms (half sinewave)
• 300 Gs at a duration of 0.5ms (half sinewave)
Shock may be applied in the X, Y, or Z axis.
c. Packaged
Seagate finished drive bulk packs are designed and tested to meet or exceed applicable ISTA and ASTM
standards. Volume finished drives will be shipped from Seagate factories on pallets to minimize freight
costs and ease material handling. Seagate finished drive bulk packs may be shipped individually. For less
than full shipments, instructions are printed on the bulk pack carton for minimum drive quantities and proper
drive placement.
